NaruSasu-Middle Child

So?

Sasuke's Pov

"Hn."

I continue chewing and brought all of my attention towards my almost empty bowl of tomato slices. 

"Sasuke." 

I look up at Naruto who called my name and glance at the others who are looking nervous behind him. 

I cocked my eyebrow up in response.

"When I say a gang, I mean like an actual gang," Naruto speaks slowly at me as if I didn't comprehend what he'd said the first time, "You know? Like a gang that kills people over territory, and launders money, and sells drugs. The really bad and powerful kind.... you know? The kind that is treated like kings and queens, even if they go to jail. The kind that has the government and people wrapped around their finger. You know?"

"Usuratonkachi. I knew what you meant." I frown when I realize I've eaten all of my slices. I turn my attention back to the room.

"Are you mad?"

"Do you feel betrayed?"

"Are you going to turn us in?"

"Will you blackmail us with this?"

"We might have to kill you." 

I glared at Sai, who made the last comment. He's a pale emotionless guy who kind of resembled me. He smiled in return. It was obviously fake.

'The Gang' continued bombarding me with stupid questions. I ain't no snitch, (lmao I had to) and this type of thing doesn't really phase me. I work at a weapons store for Kami's sake and the first time I even met Naruto he head bought equipment and more weapons. I assumed it wasn't for a 'collection' since he listed what he was buying and who for. 

"No." I answer simply and the all of them shut up, thankfully, and turn their attention to Naruto who seemed to be in awe of something that I don't know. 

"Unbelievable." I hear him mutter under his breath. 

I'm conscious of what's going on around me and why everyone is so worried. But I pay no mind because I'm more worried about the fact that I'm out of tomatoes -_-.  I ask Naruto if he'd made it to the store and back and he lights up and nods his head yes as he rushes off somewhere, leaving me and 'The Gang' alone in an awkward silence. 

I take this as the chance to gather information. 

First up is Hinata Hyuga. I noticed her last name and had a difficult time not glaring at her. She had the same dark-ish indigo hair as she had the last time I'd seen her. Only cut shorter, a little above shoulder's length. She still was insecure about herself and seemed to be very quiet and shy. As usual. I approach her first as the rest of the room watches me. She looks up at me and I immediately give her an extra icy Uchiha glare. She becomes afraid of course and I smirk as she begins to quiver.  She was sitting in one of the love-seats in the room so I looked down at her. 

"I won't forgive you, and I'm sure as hell am not going to forget, but if you're apart of this gang, then I can only assume that Naruto trusts you and that you've actually become useful to someone over these past few years. So. If Naruto trusts you, then I'll put up with your existence. But if you even try--no, if you even think a single thought about switching sides... I will end you. I'm not putting up with any of that innocent flower bullshit you pretend to be. I know the real you. You're not messing up this for me. I'll make sure of it."

Hinata was speechless but nodded in understanding. I stuck out my hand and we shook. All the while, the others in the room pretended as if they weren't listening to the whole conversation. 

I notice that Temari is looking at me and smirking a bit so I guess it's time for me to meet her personally next, since I already know Shikamaru. The couple are sitting on the left side of the couch. Kiba and....... Choji, I think was his name, are sitting on the right side, arguing about something. I proceed to Temari and she smiles at me when I approach her.

"Nice to finally meet you Sasuke-kun. I like your attitude. You're cold, yet Sassy. APPROVED!"

I furrow my brows a bit and give a slight smile afterwards, "Finally? It sounds like you've known about me for a while."

"I have actually. Ever since the day I was out with the rest of the gang and Shika and Naruto had to go on that stock up run, Shika has been complaining way more about how Naruto better not mess his relationship up this time. Naruto hasn't been with anyone for a while, but don't talk to him about it or bring it up. He gets really sensitive, well the opposite of sensitive really,  more like, cold and deadly whenever the subject is brought up. It's like the forbidden fruit around here. So heads up."

"Thanks." I respond, but before heading off. "Oh, and I like your hair, Temari-chan." I add. I also nod at Shika who had partially gotten up to listen in on the conversation and was now going back to sleep.  Temari blushed a bit and pulled on her two high pigtails. I get a naughty idea, and decide to open up a bit to her. She shares necessary information, and doesn't feel the need to talk just to talk. I like her. 

I lean down to Temari's ear and notice that Shika tries to listen in again, attempting to remain inconspicuous this time, and doing a horrible job at it, so I decided to have a little fun. 

"I might need you to do my hair like that," I whisper, "for whenever I'm feeling kind of kinky with Naruto. I'm getting off just thinking about how he'd have way more control over my mouth when I'm--"

Shika abruptly got up and stretched and yawned very loudly in attempts to run me off. It worked, but Temari and I still had a good fit of laughter watching the uncomfortable Shika fake yawn with a slight blush accompanied with a look of disgust on his face. I couldn't blame him. He and Naru were like brothers. I wouldn't want to listen in about Itachi having sex either even if he had betrayed me and dissapearedwhen I was 8 years old. Just. Ew.

Ewww. 

I continue to go around the room and introduce myself. Kiba, Choji and I introduced ourselves and I got to meet little Akamaru who barked at me and I sort of hissed back, making the mutt back off. Kiba apologized and insisted that Akamaru only needed to learn my scent. Choji gave me a bag of tomato-flavored gummy candy, which I gratefully accepted and almost cried at his inexplicable gesture of utter kindness. 

I met with Shino and he didn't talk much. I complimented his shades. He complimented my nose. Weird. I know. Afterwards I talked to Sai, the pale asshole and come to find out that he's an asshole by default and doesn't really comprehend emotions very well, or social cues, and that he's still learning to read the mood sometimes so I give him a pass on any douche-bag remarks he decides to make in the meantime. I met up with everyone else in the room before Naruto comes back in the room and by that time, everyone agrees that it's okay to ditch the "san's, chan's, and kun's," since I'm 'part of the family' now.

Naruto comes back with a wrapped box in his hands. It was black wrappping paper and a big blue bow on top. 

"This is for you." He says and blushes before putting the box down on the table.

I am confusion. 

"Did I do something? Is today a holiday? Am I the 100th customer?" I crack and he chuckles. 

"I want you to join us." 

I look back in surprise just as everyone else in the room.

"You don't have to of course if you don't want to because it's totally normal to not want to get involved in illegal stuff that has nothing to do with you. Plus we've only been on one date and it's not like I'm asking you to move in with me or anything, not that I'd mind you moving in with me and I'd take care of you and all. Because I would never hurt you or intentionally hurt you and now I'm just rambling and can you just please open the gift." Naruto looks shaky and very nervous. I'm still confused. What's he so nervous for. I was going to ask to join sooner or later anyways after I had found out.

I walk towards the table and unwrap this unexpected gift and drop my jaw at what's inside. The gift box contained an absolutely beautiful katana. It had a vibranium (lmao jk) titanium steel infused black blade and even...... 

Hehehehehe! Another cliffhanger! lol don't hate me. I hope you enjoy!
